Pause to Release

Presented at KhojLive 12, Delhi - Friday, 27 January 2012 - 4:00pm – 9:30pm

A gathering abandons voice and motion to explore the erasure and presence of silence. Pause to release is a performative piece whose protagonists are expressively silent in the eloquence of a gathering at a standstill. Time has stopped. It is a still life that expresses the eroticism of passing time, the impotence of silence. It is an occupation of the silences between sounds and movements. A frozen tableaux of partying, a scene of indeterminate engagement with the audience.
